Recent reading test evidence suggests that while there is no across-the-board decline in scores for seven year olds, "low attainers" are falling ever further behind their classmates (Gorman and Fernandes 1992). We have a pressing and intensifying problem, which is now often perceived as cultural in its origin and chief manifestations. In a recent paper Eve Gregory, implying a negative response, asks "... whether all children can naturally be acculturated into reading in school through participation in a practice which is only real for some" (Gregory 1992 p 47). This paper documents one teacher's apparently successful attempt to do so, in the sense of making the practice of story-time "real" for nursery children who come to school with little or no experience of it at home.
